Itching, burning, stinging and redness are the obvious signs of sensitive skin. The triggers behind these sensations are less clear: genetics, hormones, stress, chemical assaults, foods and even aggressive skin treatments can intensify skin’s highly reactive state.
The common thread behind irritation, flushing and stinging is inflammation. When paired with the loss of skin’s protective barrier, skin health is compromised and becomes highly reactive.

I started my Dermalogica experience with Super Sensitive Shield and was so impressed I purchased Ultra Calming Serum Concentrate and Barrier Repair one week later. I have ultra sensitive skin with rosacea and this product really delivers. It quickly diminishes redness and irritation and moisturizes more effectively than any moisturizer I've found. I layer it over the ultra calming mist and my prescription topical, followed by either Barrier Repair or the sunscreen. I am a research scientist and critical of ingredients in skin care (I know, for example, plant stem cells are a waste of money for your human face). I love Dermalogica's no nonsense approach: Skin health FIRST and the rest follows. Every product has truly helped my skin and they all smell and feel lovely. I am so happy I discovered you Dermalogica!

It might not work for everyone with acne, but I tend to have acne that gets inflamed and red by the end of the day. My acne tends to flare up due to hormones and is more located in the chin area. This serum is great at keeping it all in check. I noticed an effect just from the sample I used.

I first received the Ultracalming Serum in a sample size a couple years ago and I've been hooked since! I thought I would write a review as I'm here purchasing more of the product. I have combination (hormonal) skin that is prone to breakouts around my chin. I've noticed a big difference in my skin texture and find this helps control clarity as well as moisturizes. I live in the northeast where the winters are brutal so I do layer this under a moisturizer and barrier repair in the winter months, but use this as my moisturizer in spring & summer. A bottle lasts me about 8 weeks. It's pricey but I've let myself run out before & I've noticed THAT much of a difference. It's a staple I won't live without!

Ultra calming serum concentrate is the only moisturizer I use on my super sensitive skin. This serum makes my skin extremely soft and silky. It is expensive but so worth the price as a little goes a very long way. I have to admit to using it on my legs after shaving, occasionally, just because it is entirely nongreasy, absorbs immediately and makes my skin feel amazing. Love this stuff.

Prior to using this product, I had never used a serum before. It's hard to believe I waited this long to find out what an amazing serum this is! I use this along with the other ultra calming products and my skin has never been clearer. I struggle with sun damaged, t-zone acne prone, sensitive skin and this product seems to be the perfect solution to my skins needs. I accidentally let myself run out of this product, and I am definitely noticing. I plan to order more soon and hopefully never run out again! I love this product! It is definitely worth the money.

Yes, Ultra Calming Serum Concentrate can be used under the eye to address irritations and dryness however, we do have Ultrasmoothing Eye Serum specifically to address puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles for someone with a sensitive skin. It depends on what your main concern is which product would be best. Please see our Ultra Calming segment for more information on both of these products.

Q:

How long does it take to see a reduction in redness with the product? I'v used it once but didnt see any reduction. Does it take a week or so?

Everyone has different skin needs and it is hard for us to say exactly when you will see a reduction of redness. If your redness is due to dilated capillaries, this redness will remain. If you have redness that is caused by sensitivity and irritation, ultracalming serum concentrate will start to heal and soothe your skin.
